Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, Exhibition on Screen: Turner and Constable explores their intertwined lives and legacies.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals.

Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them.

Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen.

Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm.

Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions.

Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.
